Nigerian oil workers resolved yesterday to withdraw their services and shut down the petroleum and gas sector for three days from September 13.
This is to protest the increasing violence and attacks on oil workers in the Niger Delta, the latest of which resulted in the death of a Community Relations Officer (CLO) of Shell, Mr Nelson Ujeya.
The company yesterday confirmed his death and recovery of his body from Letugbene in Bayelsa State on Tuesday night.
Similar sentiments on the violence in the region were expressed yesterday by President Olusegun Obasanjo at a meeting he held in Abuja with members of the Gulf of Guinea Energy Security Strategy (GGESS). He lamented the ease with which arms were getting into the region illegally.
